Created in 2009 and performed in theaters and military bases around the world, ReEntry, by American Records Theater, has been called “provocative and powerful” (New York Times).

The Hop performances are part of a three-day residency by American Records that includes a free panel discussion on Tuesday, April 3, at 4:30 p.m. in Dartmouth’s Filene Auditorium, entitled “Fallout: What We Think About the Military Matters.” ReEntry director KJ Sanchez will be joined by author Nancy Sherman (The Untold War) and a Dartmouth student veteran to discuss the challenges posed by public perceptions of the military, including civilian response and representations in the arts. During the residency, the artists will also meet with local veterans and Dartmouth students.

ReEntry contains mature language and is recommended for ages 14 and older.
